hmmm ok.. haha i think today is the most fruitful day since the start of hostel life.Praise the Lord! heh. my day was filled with lectures and tutorials and then i went to the LIBRARY! to read up on some microbio stuff.. for my lab report. Don't know if all of those reference notes were needed, but i printed them anyway. haha make my bag look more knowledgeable. lol
I must admit they are very interesting indeed hehe..
Took 'Chinese traditions' as one of my breadth modules... initially i think confucius is really confusing haha.. n mozi is trying to establish his unrealistic universal love..what's more, mencius picking a fight with MOzi.. heh..
All these are then clarified..(or rather the TA and lecturer TRIED to clarify) what they were all trying to impress upon the people of their times..
Actually Im quite impressed with the way the philosophers think.. They try to understand why the world is in such chaos during the Warring States and come up with different ways to establish social and political harmony..(or am i wrong?haha) They recognise the utmost importance of love and morality... but then I think confucius himself contradict themself when he speak about concealing the misconduct of one's father(when the father do wrong things of cos) how amazing God has placed in each one of us a regard for morality..a regard for what is righteous and love for others....
Signing off...Tingyu^^
